Party just before the rappel, North Ridge of Conness.

approaching summit plateau. we had roped up at the start of the last face up to the summit plateau. by the point shown in this pic it would have been better to unrope as pitches were wandery traversy and necessarily very short because of rope drag.

Just below the ridge at dawn.
